[Sussex] monks farm planning
- Thread starter pornomagboy
- Start date
Well no, it isn't really - it details all the requirements that trunk roads must comply with. Other requirements (e.g. pedestrian routes) will come from other documents including the Local Plan.
That's what much of the discussion above is about. There will be a bridleway under the A27 instead, so that the traffic lights can be removed and thus traffic flows improved.
Not really anything to do with New Monks Farm unless used as a Planning Gain. Just a route used by cyclists from Shoreham in fine weather along the towpath by the river as first choice route since before the by-pass was built. FOE representations are rubbish.I will be writing. Not suitable for the lycra brigade. MTB route. I use it once a week averaged out over a year and I've been using it since 1968. Vegetation grew up during the Foot & Mouth closures and passable only with difficulty when muddy.
PS: I was not responsible for the gate falling down at Cuckoo's Corner.
New Monks Farm is not in the National Park.
Not needed. Existing right of way is superior for bikes (long way around on foot). Foot path status has always been disputed. Towpath link avoiding roads was there before the by-pass.
Bridlepath already in existence from Lancing downs. Rotten surface for cycling though, MTB only.
ROW Route is Airport side of the Tollbridge along the river to Cuckoo's Corner and then cut back to Lancing Downs via the bridlepath off the road to Lancing College. These routes need to be improved to make cycling feasible especially in bad weather. New Monks Farm development really needs special provision for destination cyclists from Shoreham to Lancing.

River Adur to Coombes Road Non Motorised Users Route planning application
I would like to express my strong support for this planning permission as it fulfils the gap in the cycling provision from Old Shoreham to Cuckoo’s Corner and the Coombes Road to Botolphs, and Steyning via Annington avoiding the A27 and A283. .
It seems to be a desirable route which I have use since 1964 and before the by-pass was built. The surface has overgrown since the Foot & Mouth closures and was always problematical after rain. Local cycling routes are getting too much cycle traffic and we need relief routes at weekends.
There are plenty of bridlepaths that are problematical for cyclists, and this route seems to be a relatively simple addition with great advantages.

Where's Cuckoo's Corner?
Edit: Got it - the southern carpark by Ladywell Stream

Under pass is already there. Just needs resurfacing and designating a bridlepath or cycle path. Somebody is blowing dirty smoke. Towpath was there before the by-pass. Built the bridge over it. Beats waiting for the traffic lights in good weather. Beats waiting for the traffic lights in bad weather of it had not got overgrown with the Foot & Mouth closures.

i love IKEA but i am biased …
worked there for 29 years … nothing compared to being a Brighton fan since 1971 …
am sure cleverer /more knowledgeable people than i will decide whether IKEA Lancing is a good idea
but if it happens it´s a great place to shop and to work!

To be fair though I guess you can cut through new housing development to get to Lancing to avoid the roundabout further up.
Could be a useful rat run

Didn’t a recent post state that the link through will be closed (to all but emergency vehicles), once the development is complete?

Leading to aerial dogfights between Hackney and Uber variants, with hot air expended in a NSC thread about it.
Wouldn't they interfere with the air movements at the Airport ?

If it is a yes there will no doubt be a legal challenge of some sorts

Who from and why? It isn't in an AONB or in the SD National Park.

Only if they can find a legal reason to oppose the plan, not just because they don't like it.
